https://www.twitch.tv/watchmeforever - AI-generated (aside from the artwork) parody of '90s sitcoms, running forever (24/7/365). We worked on this w/ a very small team for the past four years, in-between our day jobs. When started, OpenAI didn't have an API, and Stable Diffusion definitely wasn't a thing, so we had to come up with novel methods to thread cohesive content together. Most of the "creative" details e.g.,…
Premise: Website analytics that includes tracking for time on each page - so you can report on top pages not just by traffic but by time spent on the page/content.
Sent as a daily report via email, but there are interactive reports too.
Cost: $1.99/mo + $1 every 50k page loads.

It’s stupid-simple, but handy. Built it when I couldn’t find the answers anywhere else. (Pysonix/Epic have since make the info more readily available, so I’m not sure how long I’ll continue.)
https://font2png.com to create PNGs from icon fonts like Font Awesome. SVGs are usually the way to go, but sometimes you need a PNG. A previous tool that did the same went away, so I built my own. Also https://frt.rip , a whoopie cushion with spatial audio, because I had the domain lying around. Both don't make money, but they also have no users besides myself so they can run on my cheap server for free basically.
> https://font2png.com to create PNGs from icon fonts like Font Awesome. Would you consider an extra slider for the corner radius? That would allow to download icons with a background which is not completely square, but also a squircle or circle (maximum corder radius).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is it possible to onboard service onto Apple Music?
Not today but we're planning some radical changes to the music data we rely upon which should open it up to Apple Music, Deezer and beyond!
IMHO, this is exactly the sort of functionality I'd expect to be built into any music service when I say "start song radio". They misuse the word "radio" by so many degrees, they just mean "shuffle".
Even if it's not broadcast over actual radio, at least give me an announcer! And you've done that, and I'm very intrigued. Is there a place I can sign up for reminders to learn when the Deezer connector is ready?
I run Plain Text Sports ( https://plaintextsports.com/ ). I got sick of waiting for ESPN to load so I made a site with the goal of providing immediate access to what people actually care about: sports scores. It's pretty fully featured at this point, supporting the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, Premier League and Champions League, college basketball and college football, WNBA, NWSL, and the World Cup. And for a lot of lea…
CoolModFiles: https://coolmodfiles.com/ (just awaiting sponsorships) CoolModFiles is a web player that will introduce you to the most obscure and legendary tracks hosted on the internet's biggest module archive, modarchive.org! The web player works by simply fetching a random module from modarchive.org and playing it. No black magic involved! The idea for CoolModFiles originated among two programmer friends who used…
Ow, yeah, but a lot of 'em are really lame.
I'd love a setting for like "x% of plays should be in the top Y% of popularity" to guarantee some bangers every now and then. Or the bottom, if you're just 2kool4us.
To introduce someone new to the format, say, 100% of plays should be in the top 5%, melt their face off and then let 'em explore the obscure stuff later.
I worked hard on the project and I do feel that every aspect has been a significant improvement from what I tried to build in the past. It really makes me appreciate just how much sacrifice it takes to build good software. Like you can't be lazy and just be like 'yeah... this kind of works so the code stays.' I had to re-write code multiple times. I lost track of the number of re-writes for some of the more complex modules.
I will also say the most significant reason the project ended up successful was due to an emphasis on testing. I spent months writing a test suite and increasing 'code coverage.' In doing this I found many problems and re-wrote code until it worked how it was supposed to. My emphasis on testing is what ultimately made the software in any way stable enough to use. Where ever possible -- live testing was used with real infrastructure so I know all features work in the real world.
The software is on Github and Pypi: https://github.com/robertsdotpm/p2pd https://pypi.org/project/p2pd/
Taking a brief break from the project to recharge. So if you find a bug it probably won't be patched right away.
